Crispy Noodle Salad

As it is springtime and getting warmer each day I will be making more salads and lighter meals. I had some visitors for lunch yesterday and tried this new recipe. It worked really well and even though the ingredients sound a bit strange the result was crunchy, savoury and with a mild asian flavour.

Sorry I didn't take a photo for you because it looked good as well.


Crispy Noodle Asian Style Salad

Ingredients for Salad:
1 chinese style cabbage, shredded
125g silvered almonds
250g sunflower seeds
2 spring onions
200g crispy cooked noodles (in the dried food section of supermarket, sometimes called Fried Noodles)

Ingredients for dressing:
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil (I used canola oil and it was fine)
1 tbsp soy sauce

Method:
  • Mix salad ingredients in a large bowl
  • Whisk dressing ingredients together
  • Toss dressing through salad just before serving. Noodles only stay crispy for about an hour once dressing is applied

I made my version of this recipe on Saturday to take to a friend's birthday party. In fact everytime we have to bring a plate it's the salad that they request me to make!

When I started reading your post I thought I somehow got to your old posts...."springtime and getting warmer".

Then I realized, dah...anyway great salad recipe. Might have to wait few months for our spring to arrive to try it, lol.

Ms Bibi- in the summer here we have extreme heat and don't like to attract the blowflies with strong cooking smells. As most of my readers are in the northern hemisphere some of my recipes won't suit them! I suppose it will be snowing where you are?

One of my very favourite salads ever - here we call the asian cabbage Napa cabbage.
